Lesson Plans for Life

In his writings, lifelong educator Gary Millen reveals how helping others became a richly rewarding aspect of his life. His teaching, mentoring and civic involvement exposed him to all ages and backgrounds throughout his education career. Starting at an early age and continuing throughout his life, his stories provide inspiring and relevant lessons for parents, students, fellow educators, and just about anyone else who cares about their own or others' success. Writing this book is but one example of how he still finds time to follow his passion for helping others.

Seeing our collective need to do so much more to prepare today's youth and tomorrow's leaders was the principal motivation for this book. Providing the lacking but vital life skills could prevent many from making the wrong choices that haunt so many for their entire lives. The secrets of success need not and should not be secrets! The author hopes to show how proactivity on his part and on the part of others was always the right approach.
